Abstract

A vehicle comprising a suspension unit having a reduced space requirement for arrangement in a body. A vehicle (e.g., a motorcycle) 1 includes a rear suspension 16, which is provided between a body (2 to 5) and a rear wheel 15 and which absorbs a shock in a relative movement of the body (2 to 5) and the rear wheel 15. Further, the rear suspension 16 includes a cylinder portion 22 whose inside is filled with air and an outer cylinder portion 42, which is directly mounted to the cylinder portion 22 and arranged so that its volume can be adjusted.
